Daun Salam Frozen

Essential Aromatic Leaf in Indonesian Cuisine

Daun Salam Frozen are Indonesian bay leaves that have been carefully frozen to preserve their natural fragrance, colour, and flavour. In Indonesian cooking, daun salam is widely used as an aromatic ingredient that enhances the depth and balance of savoury dishes.

Unlike Mediterranean bay leaves, Indonesian daun salam offers a milder herbal aroma with subtle earthy notes. When added during cooking, the leaves slowly release their fragrance into the dish, complementing spices and other ingredients.

Preserved Freshness Through Freezing

Freezing helps maintain the natural quality of the leaves, keeping their distinctive aroma and green colour intact for longer storage. Daun Salam Frozen are usually cleaned and hygienically packed, allowing them to be used conveniently in everyday cooking.

• Curry and coconut milk dishes
